  Corel Digital Studio 2010

  A majority of home users will appreciate Corel Digital Studio's feature set, its interactive projects, and wide support for photo and video formats.

• 

  Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6)

  Intel Mac users will like Snow Leopard's smartly designed interface enhancements, and its Exchange support is a must-have (especially with Outlook for Mac on the way). With a ton of technological improvements, Snow Leopard is worth the AU$39 upgrade fee.

• 

  Asus Eee PC T91

  Asus does a good job of combining a netbook and a touchscreen in the Eee PC T91, even if the system hits a couple of first-generation snags.

• 

  Alienware M17x

  Alienware's new version of the M17x makes some welcome design tweaks and offers the best laptop gaming hardware you can get. Just be warned: it ain't cheap.

• 

  QNAP TS-509 Pro

  The QNAP TS-509 Pro comes highly recommended — it's a flexible NAS with an interface that's gaining usability as time goes on.

• 

  Apple MacBook Pro (13-inch, June 2009)

  Previously known as the MacBook, Apple's basic 13-inch aluminium unibody laptop has been promoted to the "Pro" series, all while adding features and cutting the base price.

• 

  Dell Adamo

  Dell's upscale Adamo is a 13-inch laptop for those who value design and finish as much as performance, but its luxury price will limit the potential audience.

• 

  Apple Mac Mini (2009)

  Apple's newest Mac Mini is set to be a hit, being both small and powerful. We suspect that if Apple had managed to squeeze Blu-ray support in there, it would take a large chunk of the home theatre PC market.

• 

  Dell Studio XPS 16

  The Dell Studio XPS 16 is an attractive laptop that handles HD content particularly well, although it suffers from an unimpressive battery life.

• 

  Dell Studio XPS 13

  The Dell Studio XPS 13 is a very good laptop. It could have been excellent, but Dell seems to have actually tried too hard in some areas, such as the laptop's design, and we feel it's backfired slightly.

• 

  Acer Aspire One AOD150

  The new 10-inch Aspire One AOD150 will further cement Acer's lead in the netbook market, largely on account of its price.

• 

  Acer Aspire 8930G (Core 2 Duo T9400 processor 2.53GHz, 4GB RAM)

  With a true 1080p display, the 18-inch Acer Aspire 8930G is a capable HD content playback machine.

• 

  Sony Vaio VGN-P15G (Intel Atom Z530 processor 1.6GHz, 2GB RAM)

  Sony's upscale Atom-powered Lifestyle PC has the components of a cheaper machine, but the design of a more expensive one. The end result will be a useful travel PC for some and a conversation piece for others.

• 

  Fujitsu M1010

  Fujitsu's netbook offering doesn't really differ much in performance, but redeems itself in design. We still wish it was a touch cheaper, though.

• 

  Asus N10 (Intel Atom N270 Processor 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM)

  You'll pay a bit more for the privilege, but the Asus N10 is unique because of its discrete, switchable graphics and extra ports.

• 

  Asus Eee PC S101

  Asus packs the same basic components found in other Netbooks into a stylish, slim chassis for a modest premium in price, with some unfortunate keyboard-layout compromises.

• 

  Lenovo IdeaPad S10

  Lenovo's "me, too!" entry in the netbook sweepstakes, the IdeaPad S10, gets the price and features right, but falls behind on battery life.

• 

  HP Mini 1000

  HP may have arrived late to the consumer netbook game, but by lifting the generous keyboard from last year's business-oriented model, the Mini 1000 easily joins the category's top tier.

• 

  Apple MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo 2.53GHz)

  Apple's new 15-inch MacBook Pro has a raft of new features, however, there's now less incentive to spend extra on a Pro because its 13-inch mainstream cousin received a greater overhaul.

• Sony VAIO LT VCG-LT28G

  We're still trying to work out who the target market for the highly expensive LT VAIO is. Design-crazed multimillionaires, perhaps.
